Why do websites block Python’s requests.get() method, and how does it relate to bot protection?
Websites may block Python’s `requests.get()` method due to its association with web scraping, where automated bots can make numerous requests to a server, potentially overloading it with traffic or violating the website’s terms of service. To prevent such unwanted bot activity, websites may implement bot protection measures like CAPTCHAs, rate limiting, or detection algorithms that can detect and block suspicious requests, including those made by Python requests.
